Progressive Disclosure Plugin

Organize any LLM-consumed document using three-tier progressive disclosure (lazy prompting). Keeps high-signal content always loaded, defers low-frequency detail to on-demand files.

Installation

Add to your Claude Code plugins:

claude plugin add /path/to/progressive-disclosure

Or install from the marketplace.

Usage

Slash Command

/progressive-disclosure

Runs an interactive workflow that:

1. Detects the target document (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, system prompts, etc.)
2. Classifies each section into three tiers (always loaded, conditional, on-demand)
3. Proposes file moves with user approval at each step
4. Adds structural elements (Reference Index, Pre-Modification Checklist, etc.)
5. Verifies all references resolve

Auto-Suggestion Hook

When you edit a target document past a line threshold (200 for project-level, 100 for user-level), the plugin suggests running /progressive-disclosure.

Configuring Target Documents

Edit config/targets.txt to add custom glob patterns:

*/CLAUDE.md
*/.claude/CLAUDE.md
*/AGENTS.md
*/system-prompt.md
docs/runbook-*.md

Three-Tier Architecture

Tier	When Loaded	Examples
Level 1	Every session	Core commands, hard rules, code patterns, error diagnostics
Level 1.5	When conditions match	.claude/rules/ (CLAUDE.md), conditional sub-docs (AGENTS.md)
Level 2	On demand via trigger	SOPs, edge cases, historical decisions, full config examples

Companion Skills

• /revise-claude-md (from claude-md-management plugin) — routes new learnings to the correct tier, preventing re-bloat
